For many people work is 100% of their social network besides their family. They have an unfulfilled basic need that gets bottled up and so gets expressed in unhealthy ways. My boss, who is the only one I hear weird shit like this from, has explicitly told me that he doesn’t have any friends and hasn’t for years. I feel sort of bad for him but then he says shit like gen z is beta and the feeling goes away.
I think this is why he can’t get his head in the game when it comes to giving her a derisive silly nickname. His style requires spontaneity. “Sleepy joe” isn’t something you think about, it’s something you feel. But all of Donald’s off the cuff thoughts on Kamala thoughts are just hideously racist.
